Contour Line and Value Leaf Sketches

Day 1 

7th grade 

Contour Line and Value Leaf Sketch

Sketch Day!

Students used yesterdays information about line to create contour line drawings of leaves. 

The students used real leaves to create their composition. 

They were required to have a minimum of 5 leaves and some needed to be overlapping. 

Once the students completed the sketch they received 8x8 watercolor paper to draw their final copies on. Tomorrow the students will use liquid watercolors to paint the fall leaves.

Day 1- Monochromatic Haunted House

Begin our Sketches

6th grade artists began their sketches today for the Monochromatic Haunted house project. 

The students used their ipads for haunted house references. 

The students picked 5 didfferent haunted houses they liked and saved the image to their ipad. They then used the images to create a new image of their own and added details to their projects (trees, moons, clouds, pumpkins, etc..)

Tomorrow, day 2, the students will create their monochromatic background.
